The Road to Enlightenment

Welcome to the home page of Miko Matsumura, well known technology advisor, speaker and entrepreneur.

After spore.org suffered the great disk crash of '02, I was looking for a different approach to the design of my home page. After much deliberation, I've opted for a simple "Inside out" design.

By inside out design, I simply mean that there is so much more of me available on the world wide web than I could put into my own words--so my site is designed around this single home page from which you can launch out onto the web to find more about my activities. I also used to have a blog site called "TrueBlog" but I ended up with a TON of Movable Type comment spam from v1agra sellers and much worse, so I shut it down.

So What is This About?

Search engines are a great place to start, you can find WiseNut me or Google me if you like, or if you are looking for a graphical adventure, I recommend that you Kartoo me..

Social networks are also interesting and telling, if youre curious about those, feel free to take a look at my Ryze.org home page or you can find me on Orkut .
